Thank you.
i would tend to agree in principle, but we've all seen crazier things happen. if the almighty dollar starts rearing its head and getting thrown around...never can tell what will happen. plus, there would be benefits to both schools having div one hockey programs. a lot of money is being spent around omaha to promote hockey in general. more rinks/kids/teams, more teams/kids/rinks...its a symbiotic relationship. both lincoln and omaha have shown they can, and will, support hockey, and that people are excited about it in general. there was a story in the weird herald not long ago that talked about the exponential growth of youths in nebraska taking up the sport.
and from fantasy land...how cool would hockey be in the coliseum???
As far as I know, Lincoln and Omaha are the only two places you will find legitimate interest in kids playing ice hockey leagues in the state. Could be wrong though.
There is the Viaero Events Center here in Kearney where the USHL Tri-City Storm play at. There are youth and adult hockey leagues too.
